Approved Defense Logistics Management System Change 103

DAAS Processing Rules for Project Code 3AD

(Supply/MILSTRIP)

1. Originator:

a. Sponsoring Service: Ms. Bobbie Ziolek, HQ AFMC/LGIA,

MILSTRIP/MILSTRAP Focal Point

b. Inter-Service Supply Support to Depot Maintenance Work Group 

(ISS to DM) Focal Point: Mary E. Johnson, HQ AFMC/LGIA , Acting Chair for 

the ISS to DM

2. Functional Area(s) Involved:

a. Primary: Supply

b. Secondary: Financial

3. Requested Change:

a. Title: DAAS Processing Rules for Project Code 3AD

b. Description of Change: This change requires the Defense Automatic 

Addressing System (DAAS) to pass (instead of route) all DI Code A0_ 

requisitions containing Project Code 3AD to the activity identified in the Routing 

Identifier (To) (record positions 4-6). This will direct the requisition to the 

Principal whose assets will be used for the repair as requested by the Agent (or 

Source of Repair) under the Depot Maintenance Inter-Service Agreement

(DMISA).

c. Procedures: 

(1) Revise the definition of Project Code 3AD as follows:

CODE DURATION USE/REFERENCE MONITOR/COORDINATOR

3AD

Service 

Codes: 

All

01 Oct 98 to Continuing Used to identify materiel requisitioned 

for depot repair (overhaul and 

maintenance) of Depot Maintenance 

Inter-Service Support Agreement

(DMISA) items not previously 

identified in the DMISA. DAAS will

use the RI (To) (rp 4-6) to pass the 

A0_ requisitions to the activity 

indicated. (This code will also assist in 

billing and credit processes.)

(2) Modify Appendix AP2.13, Project Codes, to insert new 

paragraph AP2.13.3 and renumber accordingly.

AP2.13.3 Project Code 3AD supports requisitioning under a DMISA. When 

used, this project code will cause the requisition to be passed directly to 

the activity identified by the RI in rp 4-6. DAAS routing rules will be

overridden. If the submitting Component requires use of an alternate 

project code, e.g., a contingency support project code, on a requisition for 

which 3AD functionality is also desired, the alternate project code would 

have precedence over the 3AD. In this situation, the requisition may be 

prepared as a passing order (DI Code A3_) to preserve the proper

destination while employing the Service-mandated project code.

4. Reason for Change: Under current MILSTRIP rules, the DAAS routes 

requisitions to the correct supply source for the material requisitioned, rather than 

using the RIC indicated in the transaction. This DAAS function is generally 

appropriate as it ensures that the requisition goes to the correct activity, even 

after a logistics reassignment has occurred resulting in a new supply source. 

However, when processing Project Code 3AD requisitions from the Source of 

Repair (or Agent) under a DMISA, it is necessary that the requisition not go to the 

source of supply, but instead go to the Principal whose assets are intended to be 

used for the repair. In this situation, the customer may not be a registered user 

of the material and his requisition could be rejected with CC status. Correctly 

passing the requisition to the Principal will reduce financial losses incurred when 

the Principal must purchase the same type of material again from the supply 

source while previously purchased material is sitting in the Service inventory. 

This change will reduce inventory balances as intended at the designated 

Principal, and does not unnecessarily draw down inventory at the supply source. 

Using the supply source rather than the Principal could also result in a delay due 

to backorder or a new procurement, introducing potentially excess material into 

the DOD inventory. It will eliminate the possibility that the supply source will 

satisfy the requisition with a substitute item which may not be best suited for the 

repair. This change will facilitate accurate demand history capture at the supply 

source (where it is now overstated) and improve forecasting by the Principal

(where demand is now understated). 

5. Advantages and Disadvantages:

a. Advantages: Allows for correct processing of DMISA requisitions with 

the benefits discussed above at minimal cost.

b. Disadvantages: Establishes a new exception condition under 

MILSTRIP/DLMS business rules.

6. Alternatives: Using a passing order to generate a requisition to the Principal 

would require reprogramming legacy systems within the Army, Navy, Air Force, 

and Marines Corps. Changes to the Service systems’ are deemed cost 

prohibitive versus having DAAS procedures revised for DI Code A0_ requisitions 

containing Project Code 3AD. 

7. Impact: Publications that will be affected: DOD 4000.25-M, DOD 4000.25-1-M, 

Joint Service Regulations, the Wholesale Inventory Management and Logistics 

Support of Multiservice Used Nonconsumable Items, and the Joint Depot Maintenance 

Program, respectively.
